The Sailor Senshi Rise Again:
Chapter 4: The Fall
Haruka stood out in the hallway, thinking. Hm she thought to herself my butt still hurts from that fall. I better go put ice on it. She walked into the room and carefully walked into the kitchen. She took a step towards the fridge, then suddenly slipped and fell. Stupid Hotaru and her toys Haruka thought as she fell. Her head slammed into the counter next to the fridge, causing her to gasp in pain. She fell to the ground, unconscious, with a loud clunk. Blood started to gush out of her cracked skull. She lay on the ground, bleeding, unaware of the world around her.
Michiru came running out to the kitchen. "Haruka," she called, "what was that—?" She turned the corner, saw Haruka, and gasped. "Haruka!" She screamed. She ran over to Haruka's side and held her up at eye level. "Haruka! Can you hear me?" Hearing no response, Michiru turned towards the connecting wall and started to scream, "Set—?"
Setsuna burst into the kitchen. "I can hear everything, remember? What was—?" Setsuna gasped, looking down at Haruka.
"Setsuna!" Michiru shouted, close to tears, "Call 911!"
"I'm on it." Setsuna pulled out her cell phone, dialed 911, and waited, glancing down at Haruka every so often.
"Yeah? Who's this? What's you emergency?" came a bored voice.
"Setsuna Meiou. My friend, Haruka Tenou's just slammed her head on the counter!"
"Yeah, like we don't hear THAT one every day. Call back when you have a real emergency, ma'am."
"WAIT!" Setsuna shouted. "This IS a real emergency! She's uh… bleeding profusely… and seems to have a cracked skull." Setsuna explained, trying to remain calm.
"How can that person think that this isn't a real emergency?" Michiru wailed, slowly rocking Haruka back and forth, trying to gently wake her.
"Was this self-inflicted, or caused by another person?" The receiver asked.
"What? Self-inflicted! Does that even matter? Just get an ambulance over here NOW!" Setsuna was beside herself with frustration and fury.
"Sure, ma'am," said the bored receiver voice. "Just tell us where."
Once Setsuna had told the receiver the address, she hung up, and then turned to Michiru. "They'll be here soon."
Michiru nodded. "Get me some ice in some plastic bags, and some paper towels."
Setsuna hastened to do so. She handed Michiru a couple bags of ice, and the whole roll of paper towels.
Michiru took the paper towels, and started to mop up the blood around Haruka's head. She then loosely wrapped some paper towels around her head, which immediately became soaked with blood. She put on another layer, then slowly inched one bag of ice under her head. She then placed one under Haruka's butt.
"Uh…" Setsuna looked at Michiru as if she had lost her mind.
"She needs some ice for her butt too," Michiru explained. "It's probably bruised from her fall."
"Right…" Setsuna scratched her head. "But isn't that kind of awkward…?"
"Never mind that now," Michiru said quickly. "Go get Hotaru; she needs to know what happened. I'll stay here with Haruka."
"Uh… yeah, yeah, sure." Setsuna ran out of the room, shaking her head.
Setsuna flew down the stairs. She ran out past the dorm attendant, who appeared to be sleeping. She burst out the front doors, and started to sprint in the direction of Usagi's house, knowing that Hotaru was going over there to play with Chibiusa. She found them quickly enough, Hotaru talking to Usagi while Usagi's dad pushed Usagi. "Hotaru!" Setsuna shouted.
Hotaru glanced over her shoulder, and then smiled. "Hi, Setsuna." She frowned, seeing the look of urgency on Setsuna's face. "What's wrong?"
"It's Haruka," Setsuna said coming up to Hotaru's side, panting. "I heard a loud clunk from my room and ran over. Michiru was holding onto Haruka, whose head was COVERED in blood! I'm pretty sure that she must've slipped on something and hit her head on the counter. She's unconscious too!"
Hotaru paled. "Is she going to be OK?
Setsuna shook her head. "I don't know, but we have to hurry back. An ambulance is coming any second!"
Usagi seemed to make a decision. She turned to her dad and said, "Hey look, a birdie!"
"What are you talking about?" Usagi's father looked in the direction that she was pointing.
Usagi opened her communicator and whispered urgently, "Guys, get here NOW! We're near the Mugen dorm towards my house!"
Usagi's father looked back at Usagi. "Of course there's going to be birds in the sky, Usagi. What was that—?"
"Usagi, what's up?" Rei ran over to Usagi. Minako, Ami, and Makoto also came running up.
"That was fast," Usagi said, astonished. She turned to her dad. "Daddy, we're going over to Haruka's to make sure that she's OK. Why don't you go back home?"
Usagi's dad looked confused. "I don't know how you girls got here so fast but," he looked at their urgent faces. "I'll leave you to it. Be careful, Usagi." He waved and walked off.
"What's up, Usagi? What happened to Haruka?" Rei asked again, more urgently.
"We'll tell you on the way. Let's go!" Setsuna and Hotaru ran off.
The other girls started to run when Usagi wailed, "Wait! Who's going to push me?"
Makoto ran over and pushed so hard that Usagi almost fell out of her seat. "Let's go!" She shouted.
